[WVDXA] New One on 6-M Coming in June

[W8OI at aol.com]

Bring on that sporadic E propagation.  It usually starts up in  earnest 
during May.  I just realized that May is only three days away, so I  am today 
spring loading the shack in the six meters  position.

Heads-Up  to Phil, Greg, Pete, Garry, Dave, Garie, Tim, Hal, Rick, and all 
other WVDXA  6-M Operators.

Bernie, W3UR, is reporting in The Daily DX that  you should mark your 
calendars for June 28 to July 6 as a time to sit in front  of that 6-M rig.  Ed, 
WØSD, and Arliss, W7XU, have applied for a TO5  callsign to operate from FJ, St. 
Barthelemy.  They have picked that date  because it is the best time of year 
for Es openings.  They plan on having  a long boom yagi and high power and will 
operate split from 50.103 MHz on both  CW and SSB. 

They will be in Grid Square FK87nv and ask that you NOT  send your grid in 
order for them to maximize their QSO's.  Also, please  check their online log 
search which will be updated nightly and if your call  appears there DO NOT 
continue to call in order that others may have a chance  to work them.  The log 
search will be available after May 15th at the  following URL:

They  expect to be able to work modest-sized stations in the 100-watt or less 
 category so everyone should have a good chance at this New One.  QSL via  
W7XU.

Anyone think we need a call-out list for this one?  I know  I'll have my butt 
glued to my chair with my ears tuned to that  frequency.  OH, that means I 
have just 2 months to get my 6-M beam  assembled and up on the tower!  Better 
get moving.

Lookin' for No. 102 on the Magic  Band
